07 / Swap
Swap Blaec without a jump
Running text within 3% of the width, x-height within 5%
None of the fonts that look most like Blaec sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads
Until Blaec loads, this sets Arial in its place at 163.4% of its size, so running text keeps Blaec’s width and lines keep their height: nothing moves when it arrives.
